BGPD(8) Version 0.97.3 BGPD(8)

bgpd - a BGPv4, BGPv4+, BGPv4- routing engine for use with Quagga routing software

bgpd [ -dhrSv ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -p bgp-port-number ] [ -P port-number ] [ -A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ] [ --no_kernel ]

bgpd is a routing component that works with the Quagga routing engine.

Options available for the bgpd command:
-d, --daemon
Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.
-f, --config-file config-file
Specifies the config file to use for startup. If not specified this option will likely default to /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf.
-g, --group group
Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.
-h, --help
A brief message.
-i, --pid_file pid-file
When bgpd starts its process identifier is written to pid-file. The init system uses the recorded PID to stop or restart bgpd. The likely default is /var/run/bgpd.pid.
-p, --bgp_port bgp-port-number
Set the port that bgpd will listen to for bgp data.
-P, --vty_port port-number
Specify the port that the bgpd VTY will listen on. This defaults to 2605, as specified in /etc/services.
-A, --vty_addr vty-address
Specify the address that the bgpd VTY will listen on. Default is all interfaces.
-u, --user user
Specify the user to run as. Default is quagga.
-r, --retain
When the program terminates, retain routes added by bgpd.
-S, --skip_runas
Skip setting the process effective user and group.
-v, --version
Print the version and exit.
--no_kernel
Prevents route updates to be submitted to the kernel.

/usr/local/sbin/bgpd
The default location of the bgpd binary.
/usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf
The default location of the bgpd config file.
$(PWD)/bgpd.log
If the bgpd process is config'd to output logs to a file, then you will find this file in the directory where you started bgpd.

This man page is intended to be a quick reference for command line options. The definitive document is the Info file Quagga.

The bgpd process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log file, or through syslog to the system logs. bgpd supports many debugging options, see the Info file, or the source for details.
